Ashford Castle

With rooms and suites tucked away in turrets, plush beds and incredible views, there's no doubt why Ashford Castle wins the award for the most romantic hotel in Europe, time after time. For the perfect day that you will remember for years to come, it's hard to imagine a more magnificent wedding venue.

Intimate Weddings (up to 40 guests)

Whether you are opting for a celebration for just the two of you, or with your nearest and dearest, the dedicated staff will make sure your special moment together is everything you could wish for. The elegant Connaught and Inglenook rooms are perfect for up to 40 guests.

Exclusive-use Weddings (up to 160 guests)

Make Ashford Castle truly your own - you can hire the entire estate so it’s exclusively yours for up to 160 guests, allowing you and your wedding party to enjoy the full castle experience without interruption.

Enjoy exclusive use of all restaurants and bars, including The George V Dining Room, for an unforgettable wedding breakfast, the underground Wine Cellars for a magical pre-wedding event or the impressive Oak Hall for a show-stopping reception in the heart of the castle.

An exclusive-use wedding also offers a range of unforgettable estate activities for you and your guests to enjoy, including falconry, equestrian, golf, river cruising, fishing and spa treatments.

The Ceremony

Hold your ceremony in a local church, in the castle’s elegant Drawing Room or, weather permitting, outside in the castle gardens with remarkable views over Lough Corrib and an impressive castle backdrop.

If you would prefer a church wedding, a choice of churches are located in and around the castle grounds - ideal for you and your guests to move between the ceremony and reception venue. Alternatively, Saint Mary’s Church Cong is located in the village, just a three-minute drive from the Ashford Estate.

Or opt for the Hideaway Cottage - an exclusive, one-bedroom suite on the water’s edge of the lake.

Your guests will be well catered for too - with a total of 83 individually and lovingly designed rooms and suites.
